Bless your heart, sir, my son is over in Eye-Rack, fighting for your right to protest. -- Sarah Palin, to a purported heckler at a rally yesterday.
There's something doubly evil about a self-avowed Christian who prefaces almost every uncharitable remark she makes with a disingenuous "Bless your heart!" In any case, I say this without even the slightest amount of support or emboldening from the US military-- **** you and your jingoistic blather, Palin. How's that for freedom?
I've dealt with the intellectually bereft assertion that there is a direct relation between domestic freedom and this country's militant imperialism many times so please consider this a brief general election refresher tirade.
We were told years ago that our freedom was on the line in Vietnam. The USA then LOST the Vietnam War but we remained free. To this very day, Charlie has made no forays into my neighborhood -- unless of course you count the NIKE Store that he fills with manufactured goods in exchange for subhuman wages.
If I heart my freedom, thank a vet? Well, maybe a WWII vet but after that, you've got to be kidding me. The military/police state that is America in 2008 is overrun by people who think they have a perfect right to crack protesters in the head, restrict speech and impose ridiculous limitations upon civil liberties-- all in the name of freedom! Habeas corpus is a memory, constitutional safeguards against consolidation of power by the executive branch have been bound and gagged in Dick Cheney's inner office, the Fourth Amendment has been extraordinarily renditioned to parts unknown and the federal government is the silent partner in everyone's cell phone "friends and family" plan. For this I'm supposed to thank some poor sap, stupid enough to join a military with a draft-dodging rich boy serving as its commander in chief? Please. The war in Iraq (and allegedly on terrorism) has been used to curtail my freedoms. Loose lips sink bull**** at times of unnecessary war and we can't have that, can we?
To deal specifically with Palin's putdown of the person at the rally:
1- It's even money the 'heckler' was a plant. Has anyone spoken to him since the rally? Where is he? Gitmo?
2- Considering all the people who have been arrested over the past several years for protesting (or wearing tee-shirts or not being card-carrying Republicans or whatever) at mainstream American political gatherings (both R & D), Palin is relying upon American ignorance with her talk of "fighting for freedom." She has no use for protesters except when she can put them down by exploiting her own son.
3- With her outburst yesterday, Governor Palin only underscored the fact that her son is in Iraq as a potential human sacrifice to her political ambition. Like her daughter she is forcing into marriage, he has been shoved by his stupid family into an arrangement that may well destroy his life because it is what is best for his mother's cynical aspirations. (At least Biden's son is also promoting his own political ambitions.) Young Palin is also serving as a Hessian in the cause of corporate imperialism. Sadly, that pretty much sums up what this poor dupe is doing in Iraq. To repeat, he doesn't have a goddamned thing to do with my freedom to call Palin on her bumper sticker jingoism. His presence in Iraq doesn't make it safe for me to speak out against reactionary slime like his mother. The First Amendment to the Constitution is what guarantees my right to accurately label political bottom-feeders like Sarah Palin.
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel and Palin opens with it. Then the freeze-dried fascist sinks even lower by terrorist-baiting her political opponents. She is the worst America has to offer.
So if you love your freedom, thank a protester for confronting penny-ante political thugs like Sarah Palin.
They can and will when you act like a trained Obama thug. Hopefully you'll get some sense knocked into you.
Your protégé molest any children lately, Barry? ;-)

Says it all right there.....
Your protégé Paula Poundstone molest any children lately, Barry? ;-)
This guy really needs some therapy.
Do people like this really exist?
Wow! I had to go rinse my eyes out after reading that piece of garbage!
We need a hugely lop-sided McCain win. These guys will probably short out then.
“I’m Barack Obama, and I approved this message.”
Hey, Barry - here's ANOTHER yuk! I hear they're issuing machetes with Obama campaign signs this month - for all those Alpha and Omega camouflage-clad Obama youth storm troopers!
YOu don’t have them in your family?
Count yourself lucky.
Sorry, I missed the “F-you.” If the poor useless hippie can write at all anymore, he can’t do it without obscenity. He did a lot of drugs in the 60’s and 70’s, then got clean for a while and wrote for SNL, before they told him he was too angry to be funny. Then he wrote for Dennis Miller, until Miller saw the light turned Republican, and saw that his services weren’t needed anymore. Now the only thing he has left is his bitterness.
Hey Barry, since you’re so attention starved that you will undoubtedly find and read this thread at some point, I wonder if you might answer a question for me: We know that Miller went right and is doing more than fine. Have you ever met anyone who switched to liberal and did better in any way shape or form? Your political affiliation is about victimhood and nothing else. That’s why you’re always in such a bad mood jackass.
This one was actually an amusing look into the “mind” of a libtard; it had a focus, a point and a view.
Most Vanities are scatterbrained idiocy without any relevant information about WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY or links or anything. Much along the lines of....
“OMG its happening right now” Title
“I just saw it on Fox, I can't believe he said it” Body
Compared to that type of cr*p this was actually pretty good.
That's just how it's supposed to be delivered. And here I thought that leftists were supposed to be great fans of irony. Sadly, no?
I thought this was a joke. guess not.
Unfortunately, a lot of people DO believe inane ramblings such as his, and will be wandering into many a polling place in November. Remember, Liberalism is a mental disorder, and many of ‘em seem to have Tourette’s Syndrome as one of the symptoms. It’s tough to clean out those potty mouths, but it’s EASY to VOTE!!!
We have liberals in the family, but they are not nearly this obnoxious. I guess I am lucky.
It’s even money the ‘heckler’ was a plant. Has anyone spoken to him since the rally? Where is he? Gitmo? ........................................ Could well be, but if he was a plant, the press would have been all over him by now. There were about 6 others there and they were escorted out. I suspect the guy who yelled out “Kill him” at a previous event was also a plant but not one of the Republican’s. I refuse to get excited over guys like this one, its over for him, the days of peace, love, and flower power ended over 35 years ago.
